How to disable "go_" and "prometheus_" metrics?

Prometheus server
1

Hi all!

I’ve set up a prometheus docker container, am feeding metrics with telegraf and report with grafana. But in addition to the metrics of interested the grafana metrics browser lists a ton of metrics with names beiginning like “go_” and “prometheus_” I don’t care about. How do I remove all those metrics? I removed the scrape config from the default config file but they still appear.

The docker compose looks like this:

  prometheus:
    container_name: grafana-prom
    image: prom/prometheus:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    command:
      - --web.enable-remote-write-receiver
      - --config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
    networks:
      grafana-internal:
    volumes:
      - ./prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
      - prometheus-data:/prometheus

The prometheus.yml looks like this:

# my global config
global:
  scrape_interval: 15s
  evaluation_interval: 30s
  body_size_limit: 15MB
  sample_limit: 1500
  target_limit: 30
  label_limit: 30
  label_name_length_limit: 200
  label_value_length_limit: 200
  # query_log_file: query.log
  # scrape_failure_log_file: fail.log
  # scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s).

storage:
  tsdb:
    out_of_order_time_window: 30m
    retention:
      time: 30d
      size: 1GB

Thanks and many greetings!
